Dust

Standard

Call me a silly girl

If you will

I just don’t care anymore.

And i was tied to the riddles of your mind too long

Crawling along on my hands and knees

Finding scraps and pieces;debris.

Forgetting who I am,

My heartbeat ceased.

Now i am rolling the dice,

Look and tell me what you see.

You won’t even look at me.

I am tired of lie after lie.

Call me a slow girl

If you will,

I just don’t care anymore.

Left or right

It don’t make no difference.

I was a fool in the beginning

I ain’t

A fool no more.

Blink and

I disappear.

And all i see is dust in my

Rear view mirror.

The wreckage of me reassembling.

Standard

Abused. Ill-treated.

Born into barbed wire boundaries.

Reiterate,

Reiterated

Over and over

How incapable one is

To even make a simple decision.

(Wrong. Wrong again)

To celebrate joyfully,

To make a sound could set fire to surroundings.

Destruction.

Loose track of truth as lies are the padding between

Being reprimanded physically

Or

Verbally.

Blurred lines

And confusion.

(Mock and shame)

How to interact;

Manipulation

False praises and head games.

How to explain

Voice crushed,

Airway blocked.

To whisper brought trembling

To body

And tears to brim

To which people yelled

“Speak up!

What is your problem?”

Momma Said

Standard

Momma said she quit

And a thousand times

I smelled it sleeping on her breath.

Lies. Secrets. Whispers.

Deals in the shadows.

Cop cars and knives.

Mixed in the coke can,

I’d take a sip and choke.

Swallowed with pills.

Bottles

Almost empty.

Tucked behind the bed.

Hidden in drawers and shelves.

She thought she had me fooled

But then she’d forget.

Hold The Walls Up

Standard

Standing in the house.

Trying to hold the walls up while the shadows die.

Windows cracking,

Shattering to pieces

As the

Elephant

Is let loose

Wrecking havoc.

Some are still sleeping,

Or pretending too

In scattered spaces.

They sleep half awake

Hoping and praying that in the morning

The sun will be showing

And all will be put back in its place.

Instead they will find a

Big gaping hole filled with

Broken memories and tear stained letters,

Fragments of half truths

And lies.

Just another

Elephant in

Disguise.
